Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (21,-84,64).
FORMULA
a(n) = (241*16^n - 65*4^n + 4)/180.
G.f.: (1-x+x^2)/((1-x)*(1-4*x)*(1-16*x)).
From G. C. Greubel, May 30 2016: (Start)
a(n) = 21*a(n-1) - 84*a(n-2) + 64*a(n-2).
E.g.f.: (1/180)*(241*exp(16*x) - 65*exp(4*x) + 4*exp(x)). (End)
